Answer:

Use 3 times as many boxes of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Using proportion

\frac{4}{13}\frac{boxes}{people}=\frac{x}{39}\frac{boxes}{people} \\ \\x=39*4/13\\ \\x=12\ boxes

original quantity of boxes ----->  4

boxes needed ----->  12

12=3*(4)

therefore

Use 3 times as many boxes of rice

a piece of string is 3 yards long. How many 1 and a quarter yard long pieces can Julie cut from the string?
Georgia [21]
This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems

for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25

now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25

3/1.25 = 2.4

so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string

if you have any questions about how i answered this question please let me know:)
